| - Well, Panera Bread just got put on the back burner.
I'd heard of Zoup! in passing from friends and just knew that there was a location in Southpointe but for some reason I had never been there. Perhaps it's just out of the way for me to go to lunch at, or maybe I thought they just had soup. Anyhow, today a friend asked to meet there for lunch and I agreed.
Glad. I. Did.
I went with a combo, sandwich and soup.
I had the 1/2 Chicken Toscana sandwich which was awesome. The baguette that it was on wasn't overly hard. It the chicken on it was nice and tender. I really like the red peppers which must've been marinated and the picked onions were a nice touch. The basil mayo took it over the top. I'm glad I only had a 1/2, as it was rich.
The chicken tortilla soup was great. Lots of vegetables, it tasted fresh and loads of white meat chicken. It also wasn't overly salty. This is something I'm happy about because a lot of soups in restaurants are overly salted and it leaves you feeling thirsty the rest of the day. The soup was accompanied by a roll of your choice, either french bread of multigrain. I went multigrain and I'm glad I did. Another fresh roll that wasn't as hard a hockey puck.
I'm not sure I'll be making it back to the location in Canonsburg at Southpointe with the new Zoup! opening in Washington by the Field & Stream store, but if the opportunity arises, I'll be there.
One thing to note about the location in Southpointe, we went at 11:30AM and there were two other people in their besides us. By 12:15, it was slammed busy. Time your visit accordingly if you can.
